SBI MLS Team of the Week: LA Galaxy

There’s no question the LA Galaxy are currently the hottest team in MLS, and their performance on Sunday evening was a perfect example why.

The Galaxy dominated in all facets of their match against Chivas USA, routing their lowly neighbors, 3-0, behind a pair of special goals that will certainly be up for Goal of the Year nominations. The Galaxy’s impressive performance made them an easy choice for SBI MLS Team of the Week.

The Galaxy, who have won four straight while scoring 13 goals in that stretch, beat out the Houston Dynamo, Chicago Fire, and Portland Timbers for this week’s honors.

What did you think of the Galaxy’s performance? Which team stood out to you in MLS Week 25?

The Galaxy look really good, loose, relaxed and confident they will be the team to beat for MLS Cup. I loved seeing Bruce Arena bowing to Robbie Keane after his goal. Like A who knew Bruce could show emotion. 2 what a great tip of the hat to classic goal scorer.

Don’t think so. Donovan has long-since said that he decides whether to pass or shoot based on whether he or his teammate has the better percentage shot. In this case, Donovan would have had to beat the keeper in order to score while Zardes had a wide open net and could score with just a tap-in. To an unselfish player like Donovan the pass was the obvious choice.
